DEEPIKA Padukone’s military green look at the MTV Europe Music Awards (EMA) 2016 has been tagged as a ‘Bollywood blunder’ by international publications.
Dailymail.co.uk, which had referred to Deepika as the “female companion” of tennis star Novak Djokovic earlier this year, featured the Hindi film star among the ‘Worst Dressed Celebs’ of MTV EMAs, and tagged her as a ‘Bollywood Blunder’.
Posting an image of the actress, the publication described the look: “Indian actress Deepika Padukone may be stunning but her swamp green bralet and skirt combo did nothing for her sensational figure.”
Another publication, mirror.co.uk, stated: “Indian film actress Deepika Padukone posed on the red carpet in what looked like a pair of giant dark green curtains as a skirt, a black sparkling bralet and huge chandelier earrings.”
Deepika is among the top young stars of Hindi cinema, having proved her mettle on the silver screen with myriad roles in films like “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”, “Chennai Express”, “Cocktail”, “Bajirao Mastani” and “Piku”.
She will be making her Hollywood debut with “xXx: Return of Xander Cage” next year alongside Vin Diesel, and was one of the presenters at the event along with her co-star Nina Dobrev. The ceremony took place here on Sunday, and was aired in India on Vh1.
At the event, Deepika’s look seemed to be in sync with her fierceful and strong character of “xXx: Return of Xander Cage”. She wore a Monisha Jaising ensemble - a skirt with a black, sequin bralette.
Jaising posted Deepika’s image on Instagram and captioned it: “Military green is a functional and strong colour. It has a tough, almost androgynous appeal for all of those women warriors out there! Deepika is unstoppable, fit and fierce; making a perfect muse for my Artemisia Gown. I’m thrilled to collaboratively envision with Shaleena Nathani, and create this very special piece for Deepika Padukone for the EMAs.”
Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber sweep MTV EMAs
SINGERS Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber swept the MTV European Music Awards (EMA) by collecting two prizes each at a ceremony that paid tribute to late musician Prince.
At the ceremony held here on Sunday, host Bebe Rexha said the EMA trophies had been turned purple in memory of the “Purple rain” hitmaker who died in April, reports mirror.co.uk.
Gaga took home the Best Female and Best Look while Bieber beat “Hello” hitmaker Adele in the Best Song category for the hit track “Sorry”.
The Canadian singer also won Best Fans, marking the third year in a row that he has collected the prize.
However, Bieber lost out to social media star and singer Shawn Mendes in the Best Male category while Dutch DJ Martin Garrix collected two awards.
Garrix, 20, who launched his own record label earlier this year, won Best Electro Act and Best World Stage awards.
Despite being nominated for three awards including Best Female, Adele left empty-handed. The British success came from Coldplay, who picked up the Best Rock award.
Drake was named Best Hip-Hop Act while American rock band Green Day were handed the global icon prize for their contribution to music, according to mirror.co.uk.
Collecting their award, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said it was “really nice to be in Europe right now”.
He said: “It’s nice to be out of America just for a second because of this horrendous election that’s going on right now. “Our entire country is about to have one big collective heart attack.”
